Many fortunate men get to marry for beauty, brains, accomplishments and character.
A lot of people like to imagine that nobody is fortunate enough to have it all. They're always in the grip of envy for those above or contempt for those below. No inner peace. Given the choice between the two emotions, they prefer contempt. Whenever they feel envy they're always on the look out for something to be contemptuous about, real or imagined. They see a beautiful woman and love to assume she must be a dumb ass who got everything she has through her looks. They see a rich man with a hot wife and they just love to assume that he's a idiot who has married some gold digging whore. It helps them feel less pathetic.
It seems the real question is why would any woman with brains, beauty, and (real) accomplishments marry Donald Trump?...
(And I do not know for sure, but I wouldn't ever accuse Melania of either brains or beauty or any kind of accomplishments---I see not even circumstantial evidence to support such accusations.)...
Marriage is a contract....He has one with Melania Trump and I assume it specifies that his marriage vows do not include fidelity, and in return, apparently she is not required to either hold his hand while walking or spend their anniversaries with him if she is unable overcome her underlying feelings of disgust at what he really is.
I can attest that my wife is a woman of "beauty, brains, accomplishments and character"...And both of us---because we understand what marriage is and why and how fidelity is an essential part of it---just shake our heads at Trumps's marriage...
((hugs)) That's a sisterly hug m'dear. Well maybe motherly. I'm not sure how old you are but I think you know I'm 80. In any case the hug is platonic. I wonder how much humiliation and disgust a human being can bear? I feel very bad for Barron I wonder if he is already damaged beyond repair?. He must know what his dad is and that is an awful lot to bear at any age. I don't know how it will shape him but it can't be a good thing. That so-called "good" people who go to church and believe in God can support in any way such a piece of evil trashy scumbagness as doofus don is beyond me. The so-called clergy give him a "mulligan". He gives them what they want and feeds their racism and bigotry and hatred for "the other". That's all they require. Their bargain with the devil. Clearly they are all braindead and in league with the devil (if such exists). Their justifying it is all bullsh**. I had no idea there were so many of them. But as with the horrible enormous scandal rocking the world of athletics, specifically gymnastics, nothing surprises me. People knew what was going on and allowed it. I think all those heads roll. People are resigning their jobs because of it. Maybe future athletes won't have to suffer through such an awful experience but what about all the ones who are damaged for life? It's shocking to me to learn that some of the athletes told their parents and were not believed. I can't understand that. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. You and your wife hold marriage dear to your hearts as do Jim and I. The tragedy keeps unfolding every day in disgusting ways and all the bobbleheads do is pretend things are fine and divine! :(
